<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 4755929, member: 19463&quot;]What any one of us think makes no difference unless we agree with the 10,000 people who have been told that they should value a full crest.&nbsp; There are enough of these coins available that we each can find one that fits.&nbsp; I wish I had not bought one that is decidedly second rate compared&nbsp; to what is available in these post-hoard days. For the same money, I could now get one with better owl details.&nbsp; Then, I valued the nose room. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1160550[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>The &#039;supercoin shown above and repeated here:</p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/proxy.php?image=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.romanumismatics.com%2Fcatalogue_images%2Fauction%2Fxlarge%2F3119.4.79_1.jpg&amp;hash=43b717106a1b04a3bc6b0052728628b5" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p>differs greatly in the way it shows both crest and the curl on the shoulder at the bottom.&nbsp; Having that on flan is scarce so we should be glad most people don&#039;t care about it.&nbsp; On the other hand, there is some wear on the curls and the owl is not as graceful as some so I could see room for improvement for those who are not fixated on the crest alone.&nbsp; Years ago I had a friend who specialized in owls but would not even look at one with the nose touching&nbsp; the edge no matter how wonderful the rest of the coin might be.&nbsp; We all have our thing.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
